I had a big one. It was a 62cm, if I remember correctly. Big frame, short cranks. All stock. Never Everything was a little funny back then

Molteni? Probably not.
1971, good chance. Lots of later modifications, from the looks I bet it was spread to 126 at one point. Most of the added braze ons can be corrected reasonably easily.
casually interested, but one is looking at near $800 to paint and chrome it correctly, if not more, and there may be a small dent in the top tube, RH side upper quadrant.

Actually, I think the frame is 1 cm smaller than he states.

If the top tube measure is correct as stated in the auction inquiries (57cm), too long for me.
Good chance this one goes for surprising dollars.
I was surprised. It went cheap, $571.+ The recession is returning I fear.

I see a heck of a lot of "too small, but otherwise very respectable" bikes on CL, & other places.

Absolutely. I though about taking a hacksaw to every small bike I see. Should up the number of reasonably sized bikes, right?
